Oil Soars Near 5% as U.S. Delays Tariffs on Some Chinese Goods

Oil Soars Near 5% as U.S. Delays Tariffs on Some Chinese Goods

From Reuters Oil prices on Tuesday jumped by the most so far this year after the United States said it would delay imposing a 10% tariff on certain Chinese products, easing concerns over a global trade war that has pummeled the market in recent months. The Chinese products include laptops and cellphones. The tariffs had been scheduled to start next month. “The U.S.-China trade war has caused energy demand growth to take a big hit. Any glimmer of hope revives the prospects for a more positive demand landscape,” said John Kilduff, partner at energy hedge fund Again Capital Management in New York. Brent LCOc1 futures rose $2.73, or 4.7%, to settle at $61.30 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude CLc1 gained $2.17, or 4.0%, to settle at $57.10.

Oil Steadies as Saudi, Kuwait Signals Offset Demand Fears

Oil Steadies as Saudi, Kuwait Signals Offset Demand Fears

From Reuters Oil prices were little changed on Monday as expectations that major producers would continue to reduce global supplies ran into worries about sluggish growth in crude demand due to the U.S.-China trade war. International benchmark Brent crude settled at $58.57 a barrel, up 4 cents. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures settled at $54.93, up 43 cents. Investors were torn between forecasts of slowing global oil demand growth and chatter about renewed efforts by major producers to curtail output and support prices, analysts said. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known as OPEC+, have agreed to cut 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) since Jan. 1. Kuwait was “fully committed” to the OPEC+ agreement, Oil Minister Khaled al-Fadhel said, adding that Kuwait has cut its own output by more than required by the accord. He said fears of a global economic downturn were “exaggerated,” and[Read More…]

Saudi Aramco Valuation Gap Persists as IPO Talks Resume – Sources

Saudi Aramco Valuation Gap Persists as IPO Talks Resume – Sources

From Reuters Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman is insisting on a $2 trillion valuation of oil firm Aramco, even though some bankers and company insiders say the kingdom should trim its target to around $1.5 trillion, industry and banking sources said. With Aramco talking again to banks about an initial public offering (IPO), its board is meeting later this week and will probably hold a discussion about the company’s value, a source close to the company said. Saudi Aramco declined to comment. CIC, the Saudi government media office, did not respond to a Reuters request for comment. Prince Mohammed put a $2 trillion valuation on the state company in early 2016 when he first proposed a share sale to diversify Saudi Arabia’s economy beyond oil. He has stuck with that valuation, according to the source close to Aramco and another source familiar with the IPO plans, even though some[Read More…]
